A LEAN GTD Weekly-Review chekclist and a Wallpaper

Posted by jens.poder on september 26th, 2007 in GTD , Lifehacking

Yesterday I made a couple of handy tools for tracking my new Pull-based system for maintaining my GTD-system.

Having split up my 3 hour weekly review routine into bit and pieces, that I perform on demand, made me want to have something to assist my focus on the new system, and help me track my progress.

So I made a template for my Circa Levenger Notebook and a Wallpaper for my desktop.

Here's the template for my organizer:

With this, I can tick off, every time I perform one of the new routines. This means I can keep up giving myself little rewards for completing weekly reviews.

Here's my new desktop wallpaper

This is to help me remember each part of my new system. When I sit at the computer, and my mind is frying, then looking at the desktop will help me start clawing my way out of the darkness into "Mind Like Water."

Good Friends

The color scheme for these designs was found on the wonderful website colourlovers. Here you can find 5-part color palettes, that can inspire you when you create presentations and design.

      Thank you so much for the very inspiring series of articles. I have been tweaking my GTD practice ever since I began it at the beginning of the year, and this is an excellent variation. My weekly review was too long, so I made a checklist as well. I really lke how you handled the idea of PULL, I am going to make an index card with a list of similar triggers, so that I can spot the emotional behaviors that warrant a response.

      Hi Stephen

      I'm really glad you liked the series. I have been working this way for two full weeks nows. And mental meltdown hasn't occured. This is encouraging :)

      Now I'm going to tweak each of my subroutines. This is something I didn't consider when I had it all bundled, but now It seems quite obvious to do.
